The1972 FA Cup final took place on 6 May 1972 atWembley Stadium. It was the centenary final (although only the 91st final due to the world wars) and the 44th to be played at Wembley.

It was contested between cup holdersArsenal, who had won theFootball League and theFA Cup the previous season, andLeeds United, who had won theInter-Cities Fairs Cup and finished second in the league the previous season, but had never won the FA Cup. Arsenal and Leeds became the first clubs to have faced one another in both English domestic cup finals: the two had previously contested the1968 Football League Cup Final, which Leeds had won, 1–0.^[1] Arsenal planned to make it the third successive decade for a club to return as Cup-holders and win for a second successive year, asNewcastle United had done in 1952 andTottenham Hotspur in 1962.

This final is the origin of the song "Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!" (commonly known as "Marching On Together"), which was the B-side of Leeds's Cup Final record. The song is still played by United and other Leeds sports teams.

To date, this remains Leeds's last victory in a competitive final of any type (not counting the1992 FA Charity Shield), with their subsequent appearances in the1973 FA Cup final,1973 European Cup Winners' Cup Final,1975 European Cup final,1996 Football League Cup final, and play-off final appearances in1987,2006,2008 and2024 all ending in defeat.Allan Clarke's winning goal likewise remains the last one scored by any Leeds player in a competitive final (not counting the 1987 play-off final, which took place across two legs and a replay).

Match summary

[edit]

The Leeds duoMick Jones andAllan 'Sniffer' Clarke combined to produce a goal in the fifty-third minute. Jones sent across a hard, shoulder-high centre and Clarke headed powerfully past Arsenal keeperGeoff Barnett's left hand from fifteen yards.

A match that often fell below the highest level began badly with a foul by Clarke onAlan Ball in the first five seconds and the first of four bookings –Bob McNab bringing downPeter Lorimer as early as the second minute. Neither side played consistently up to their capabilities, yet both had their moments.^{[citation needed]}Charlie George's fierce volley cannoned back off the bar for Arsenal, and both Clarke and Lorimer struck the woodwork for Leeds.

Leeds' jubilation at the end was tempered by a last-minute injury to Mick Jones, who dislocated his elbow and had to be helped up the steps byNorman Hunter to receive his winners' medal.
